Follow 1000 Wine Business People (OWC Members) with 1-click!

Since I run the OWC and I'm implementing some important community features that will FINALLY make the community closer to what I envisioned, I figured I'd get a jump on this.

Each OWC member enters their Twitter ID (if they choose).  I am using TweepML to make it "One-Click" to follow 1000 wine people.  Click through these links.  Each one is about 100 wine people on twitter (OWC Members).  This will give you 1000 wine people (in the industry mostly) from all over the world instantly in your Twitter stream.  This IS NOT SPAM because they won't see you unless they follow back.  But you'll be a fly on the wall to the largest online wine business community in the world!!!

Join the largest online wine business community on Twitter TODAY!!!

 

UPDATE:  Don't go follow all 11 lists right away.  Twitter will halt the process as it looks like someone who is preparing to SPAM (even though you're just trying to catch up with the community).  They can't tell the difference, its a hard-coded function of their API.  If you get a "Suspended" notice for your account, don't worry, you're not suspended completely from the service.  They'll halt your following for a little while.

Also, there is a limit to the number of people you can follow (2000).  If you hit that limit and the ratio of "following" to "follower" is out of wack then you won't go past 2000.  This is another hard-coded limit.

FYI - if you're not on there, update your OWC profile with a Twitter ID and I'll get ya next month OR to the RIGHT of the list you'll see a "Suggest addition/removal" link, you can click that and I'll add ASAP.

There is a limit to the number of people you can follow in a day before they halt it (thinking its a SPAMMER). Its just a hard coded thing. Only a couple people ran into it but its not a show stopper (doesn't actually suspend your account). I'll update the post. Thanks!
